What is it.......

Postby madthemad » Thu Jul 06, 2017 7:34 am

.........about the Boxertrix site. Nearly everyday we get some sort of spam, do other sites get this as well? I know admin clear it as fast as they can but it seems that we are plagued by it. :(

It's an arms race. As soon as a new anti-spam technology is developed, the spammers quickly find a way around it. Short of vetting every post before it goes live, which is not practical, there is no guaranteed way to stop it.

You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

I've changed the authentication for a while from self to admin authentication Paul, as the spam bot's are joining I'm vetting them and deleting them, most appear to be originating with Ukrainian IP address's
